A WERRIS Creek family is calling on the public to help find their missing loved one this Christmas – a giant Santa that was stolen from their property.

The devastated Moore family woke on Friday morning to find their six-foot-high home-made Santa that adorns their mailbox each December had been stolen from the entrance of their 3000-acre property between Werris Creek and Breeza.

The giant Santa, dressed in a blue shearing singlet, has been a part of the family for almost a decade.

“It’s a bit of a family tradition,” Erin Moore said on Sunday morning.

“I remember driving down the Newell Highway years ago and saw all the farms had Santas on their letterboxes, so we started doing it.
